Undeterred, Philadelphia won in seven games to reach the Eastern Conference finals. One small detail to note: That was in hockey. If there’s one piece of solace for the Philadelphia 76ers and Toronto Raptors right now, it’s likely this — comebacks from 3-0 deficits are not completely unheard of in major sports....

Moyes: It’s my worst day in football Sitting bottom of the table as they lined up for their last home game of the season, the club have already been relegated from the bottom of the England’s fourth tier - dropping out of the Football League (EFL) for the first time in 112 years. As well as new sporting lows, Orient failed to pay their staff’s wages on time in March and the EFL has yet to receive a response to a letter sent questioning the club on the situation....

RELATED: Movies That Parody The Damsel In Distress Trope This pattern extends to games, which makes sense. “Save the princess” has been an easily digestible premise since the days of the earliest Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda titles. As such, it’s funny to see how subsequent titles lampoon that idea, like the following games do so well. 8 The Spyro The Dragon Series The old-school Spyro games are fantasy farces, meaning fairy tales are fair game for parody....

The Reddit post currently sits at almost 40,000 upvotes, with many consumers chiming in with distaste for what is largely seen as an anti-consumer practice. Around the globe, many countries (like Canada, for instance) have laws protecting against inactivity fees draining items like gift cards, but often-times items like prepaid VISA cards are exempt from these regulations. In G2A’s case, it looks like many consumers were not expecting an in-store wallet to be hit by such administration fees....

‘Zlatan has killed his critics’ In something of a coup for Inter, the 20-year-old striker opted for the Nerazzurri in August rather than offers from the likes of Juventus, Atletico Madrid and Leicester City. He has yet to start a competitive match for Inter, though, and has only two substitute appearances to his name. With Inter struggling for consistency under Stefano Pioli, Gabriel’s agent Wagner Ribeiro has criticised the club for not giving the forward a chance and again hinted he could leave on loan in January....
